Organic Tea Tree oil, also known as Melaleuca Alternifolia, is one of the most widely-used and thoroughly researched essential oils, making it a must-have for every household. Because the benefits of Tea Tree oil include cleansing properties and a refreshing scent, this versatile oil can be used for everything from home cleaning solutions to skin and wound care.

The health benefits of Tea tree or Melaleuca essential oil can be attributed to its properties as an antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral, balsamic, cicatrizant, expectorant, fungicide, insecticide, stimulant, and sudorific substance. The tea tree is native to Australia and its oil has been used by the original inhabitants of that continent as a cure-all medicine since ancient times. The magical healing and disinfectant properties make it a wonder drug that also boosts your immunity. However, it is not meant to be ingested and is poisonous. It is meant for topical application only!

Keep a bottle of Tea Tree essential oil in your house to make homemade household cleaners, air fresheners, and linen spritzers. You can also find Tea Tree oil uses in your personal care such as shampoos for treating dandruff and dry scalp.
